  1. lmao its crazy seeing speedo go flying up and not actually moving in it
  2. as for checking on an auto im guessing whatever is the equivilent to neutral.. so yeah park? maybe lol?
  3. generally if the wheels move independently very easily then there is no lsd. a standard diff allows one wheel to rotate faster than the other unlimited so the outside wheel on a corner can cover more ground, a limted slip diff allows this also but at a certain force i.e when one wheel spinning like f**k on ice and the other on dry ground it will limit the amount the wheel on ice rotates faster than the other giving you more grip... if that makes sense
  4. jack one side of the car up and try to spin the wheel when the car is not in gear.. if you cant spin it then u have a lsd ....if u can then you havent.
  5. watch this, 4efte is gonna have similar percentage increase as the scooby i reckon.. been a turbo n that lol where as n/a starlet is gonna be like the clio... very little / no bhp increase although as it has been said the engine may run better i suppose.
  6. that might be power steering belt slipping
  7. just found out 6000k should be max for white light anything above that is violet light and is apparently very dangerous
  8. or maybe im complettttttely wrong haha think ill do i bit of research lol
  9. no i believe the higher the light rating the whiter the light and if you go down to like 6000k / 8000k its blueish then lower its starts getting more yellow
  10. the higher the light rating the purer the light i.e white light
  11. welcome to the club mate ive been a member for just over a week and i feel exactly same. its gotta be one of the best car clubs online if not THE best.
  12. top notch that !! brought some r8 memorys of past year flooding back
  13. sent him an email and he said although the belt is marked air con belt its actually a alternator belt
  14. i ordered a water pump / alternator belt from tm-developments and they have sent me an air con belt.are these two belts the same size / spec or have they simpley sent me the wrong one. im gonna ring them and find out but im at work at minute.
  15. watching it now on discovery realtime loveeeee it almost as much as my ganza ha
  16. lol he would have looked a rightttt div if he lost after all that spinning. and if you noticed he didnt have a spoiler i wonder if there was a reason for it..
  17. talk about warming tyres up lol..... but it worked
  18. just wondering about everyones 'technique' (if there ever were one) of warming up their 4efte's is it better to let the engine idle for a while (and how long for) or drive the car trying not to boost until temp gauge is at correct postion or a bit of both i.e let it idle for a few minutes then drive without boost until correct operating temperature is reached. thanks ladies nd gents carl p.s/ ive heard leaving your car to idle when cold is not very good for the engine but on the other hand i cant imagine driving an aspriated car when cold isnt much good either... so to me it must be
  19. mine does something similar to this, it sounds like a plane taking off whilst its boosting
  20. possibly something similar to this http://www.ehow.com/how-does_5002239_solen...alves-work.html (dont hold me to this lol)
  21. the low boost mode is actually for economical driving tbh, its the 1st and 2nd gear restriction in hi boost mode that was meant for safety or as you put it safety during wintery, low grip times
  22. does anyone know a way of having full boost in all gears aswell as been able to use low boost mode when you want it. as far as i know an actuator is needed to do this but i may be wrong so i might aswell ask
  23. craig are you at cortonwood alot? im sure ive seen your car there a few times + dun u on manvers in my black corsa sri lol sorry..
  24. same mate.. from swinton like your mate adam. my mate lives with his girlfriend next door to him lol & reason you havent seen my v about yet is because ive only just bought it
